1943, Germany. Martin Murray, a homosexual man in the Office of Strategic Services-an American espionage agency during World War II-desperately tries to save the world while hiding his sexuality from it. Emmerich Hubar, a former SS Officer who had been on trial for being a homosexual-the verdict not guilty by a stroke of luck-struggles with his grief as he tries to drink himself to death in Sweden. Agent Martin Murray just wants to be a patriot and do his job right. The OSS wants him to use the German named Emmerich Hubar to gain access into the Nazi military and prevent them from building nuclear weapons. A dangerous and trying task, but one worth doing if it prevents the Nazis from destroying the planet. But Emmerich Hubar isn't just some depressed drunk who wants to run away from his past. He's a passionate, brave soul with a bleeding heart and the thirst to destroy the government that nearly destroyed him. Danger lurks around every corner-even from Martin's own allies-and it doesn't help matters as he grows more and more enticed by Emmerich, an asset he needs to keep his distance from to protect their cover. Emmerich, a wild card, plays by different methods, indifferent to whether he gets captured and killed. He's not the kind of man to fall in love with, not in that country and not at that time. And yet, as Emmerich gets deeper and deeper beneath Martin's skin, Martin's sense of self-perseveration wars with a need he never realized he had: a need to be known and loved.

When tragedy strikes Nick Nelson and his family during his senior year of high school, he spirals into oblivion, unable to cope with his grief and without a system to support him. Losing Jo, his twin and closest friend, leaves him feeling utterly alone and desperate to find a way out of the town that constantly reminds him of her absence. With parents who are just as crushed as he, who cannot find a way out of their own grief to help him, he takes off: carving out his own life, far away from home and all reminders of Jo. Years after Jo's death, he still struggles with his grief, more than he should. Marie, the only friend he's truly made since moving to Seattle, knows it's unhealthy and, on some level, so does Nick. He keeps as much of Jo at bay as he can, refusing to dredge up old memories and pain. At the start of a new semester, Nick notices a familiar face in class-Jory Michaelson-a fellow classmate from his old high school. With home being almost three thousand miles away, Nick is shocked to see him. He tries his best to avoid Jory; they were not close in high school, barely knew each other, and he does not want to chance feeling upset over talking to someone from home. Soon, Nick realizes that he can't stay away from Jory, both because he finds him attractive and because Nick's desperate to hear any new stories about Jo that he doesn't already know. When Jory agrees to talk to him, it starts a relationship that neither man expects to take off. Filled with turmoil, depression, anger, and guilt, Nick struggles to find a way to cope with his loss, to heal and to open to Jory - or risk losing him entirely.

Owen Bauer, a forty-something divorcee with three daughters, spends his days in a stale, bland office space as an actuary going through spreadsheet after spreadsheet. It's deadening work, but he doesn't complain - it's stable and supports his children, and for the most part he is content. He attends church every Sunday and has always been a faithful servant of God, never so much as stealing a paperclip from his office and holding as closely to the Lord's commandments as possible. That is, however, until Mason Westfall one day breezes through the office doors and changes Owen's life. Almost a decade younger than Owen, and with a far more chipper outlook on life than Owen possesses, he floors him. He immediately fills him with feelings of desire and passion that Owen hasn't felt for years for anyone, let alone a man. They develop a close friendship, going out for coffee, for dinner, until one night after one too many drinks, a simple touch of the hand in the close quarters of a car makes Owen face up to the fact that it isn't just friendship that he and Mason have. Owen is presented with a problem - how does he reconcile his devout faith with these intense feelings for another man? He struggles through his feelings, worrying about how it will affect his work, his daughters, and his relationship with God. Though he realizes early on that it isn't just physical feelings he has for Mason, he constantly worries about his extremely homophobic ex-wife finding out about them and what she'll do if she ever catches them. There are arguments and doubt as Owen faces these new realizations. Will he be able to reconcile his feelings for Mason with his devotion to God? Or will he let his fear cause him to lose Mason and his one chance at love? Please Note: This book contains adult language & steamy adult activities, it is intended for 18+ Adults Only.

Three teenagers. One wild, American road trip. And one search for truth on the west coast, without knowing that the future of their love, struggles, hopes and dreams is already written. It's been their destiny, forever. Jacob and Monica Masters are dark and brooding teenage twins, driving fast and loose across the mad American continent after running away from home. They save a similarly wild boy from bullies somewhere beneath the mountains of Colorado.

But the road trip must come to an end, as must their wide-eyed dreams, with the three separate entities spinning out into separate trajectories, separate storylines. Ten years after that fateful road trip, Jacob accepts a job back in the Bay Area, joining his failing artist sister on the bright west coast. Another chance encounter with the now-successful painter, Peter, forces Jacob into a flurry of emotions and fascinations. The intensity between them is still locked in place, as if it was frozen in time.
